Martyrdom Conspiracy (Terry/Holmes)[629]

Was the martyrdom of the prophet Joseph Smith simply the result of spontaneous anarchy or was it a carefully orchestrated assassination?

Bestselling author Keith Terry and co-author Henry Holmes shed dramatic new light on the fateful and inexorable events leading up to the deadly shots that spilled the â€œbest blood of the nineteenth century.â€

Pulsating with political and religious tension unlike any period in American history, the presidential campaign of 1844 initiated a dark chain of events ending in murder.

Scenes of conspiracy and intrigue come to life in this deeply researched novel; a dramatic exploration of the mindset, motives and methods behind the diabolical plans. Desperate to retain their seats of power, hateful men and jealous religionists unite in an unholy alliance to destroy an American original, the Prophet Joseph Smith.

True to the timing and cadence of actual events, readers are transported in time and space as they are ushered from the realms of heavenly visions to the darkened dens of benighted assassins during this tragic chapter of American history.
